Matha Amrithanandamayi - “ AMMA ”

Mata Amritanadamayi, the Hugging Mother, lives in Kerala in the “Gods own Country”
“Amma “ has created a force of benevolence, compassion, selfless giving and devotion. A special person, she serves as a light to all of us who hope to serve the greater good. There is a peaceful atmosphere at her ashram, a loving energy that affects you as soon as you enter.
AMMA’S ASRAM

Her Asram is situated in Vallikavu , Near Karunagappilly in Kollam District, Kerala.
She is a manifestation of the Divine Mother. She has been escalated to God-like status by those who come to visit her and to live at the ashram. They prostrate themselves before her in her temple where she sits on a small stage that is an alter. Followers in white flowing garb, bodies well covered and nothing too tight, as befits the ashram’s code of celibacy, mill around in the courtyard surrounding the main temple. There is more than 2000 permanent residents live communal style, dedicating one or two hours every day to the work of cleaning or fixing meals or directing visitors.

To house all of these devotees’ high rises were built near the temple. They reach upward, warm and pink above the natural surroundings, a wide strip of green-topped coconut trees between water. From our 10th floor balcony we could look down at the pink haven, the spiritual center, and out to the deep blue Arabian Sea towards the west. The Keralan backwaters could be seen to the east.

AMMA THE HELP OF NEEDY & THE GODDESS WHO WIPES AWAY YOUR WORRIES
The recent devastating tsunami struck this southwestern coast here killing two hundred people and displacing many from their homes. A tent village had been set up nearby, blue tarps covering humble temporary residences. The ashram was feeding many of the unfortunate in the district three meals a day. Forewarned, the Mother had gathered all her people and moved them eastward beyond the backwaters, staying herself until she knew that everyone else was safe, including all of the animals.

AMMA’S trust has built many free housing structures for the poor and homeless, grade schools and universities have been built. She has set up pensions for destitute widowed females so they can purchase medicines and food and clothing. She rebuilt an entire village in Gujarat devastated by the earthquake of 2001. She has developed homes for the aged, AIDS care centers and hospice for cancer sufferers. Her followers provide free medical camps in the tribal villages, both allopathic and ayervedic. She performs free marriage ceremonies for couples that can’t afford their own proper complicated Indian weddings, provides free legal aid, and has started orphanages.
